Tiffany Trump may only be President Donald Trump’s second-favorite daughter, but she was the star of social media and at least one A-list event over the holidays: a New Year’s Eve party in Los Angeles, hosted by Playboy heir Cooper Hefner.

In fact, Tiffany Trump was the guest of honor at Hefner’s party, and even managed to steal the show at a bash packed with all sorts of beautiful, fabulous-looking people, including some Playboy bunnies.

The 24-year-old Georgetown University law school student literally sparkled in a high-hemmed, low-cut sequin mini-dress, “which fit her like a second skin and showed off her enviable figure,” according to the Daily Mail.

Tiffany Trump had other opportunities over the holidays to let her 950,000 followers see her looking glamorous. She shared an image of herself at her father’s Palm Beach resort Mar-a-Lago, wearing a shimmering, form-fitting pink dress.

Unfortunately, Tiffany Trump’s holiday Instagram whirl wasn’t all glittering. As seems typical of any Trump, she sparked some controversy. The day after Christmas, she posted a video clip of her with her big sister Ivanka Trump, both posing in swimsuits to wish their followers a Merry Christmas from Mar-a-Lago.

Tiffany Trump left behind most of the controversy by leaving her family on Sunday, flying out of Palm Beach to hit Cooper Hefner’s party at the historic Culver Hotel in Los Angeles.

Actually, both of Tiffany’s parents have a long and somewhat infamous history with Playboy, according to reports.

A Playboy editor told the Sun-Sentinel back in 1990 that her father wanted her mother, Marla Maples, to pose nude for the magazine. At the time, Trump was still married to his first wife Ivana Trump, but he went ahead and negotiated a $1 million deal for Maples. But Maples, his future second wife, wasn’t into the idea, saying she didn’t want to “exploit” her body.

Trump also had a cameo appearance in a 1999 Playboy video — what the Daily May described as a “soft-core” product.

Now, Playboy is run by a new generation. Cooper Hefner, just 26, took over as the chief creative officer at Playboy Enterprises after his legendary father Hugh Hefner died in September.

The youngest of Hefner’s children, Cooper Hefner grew up at the Playboy Mansion and regularly posts social-media images of his lavish life style, Time magazine reported. At the same time, he’s known for enjoying a more subdued romantic life than his father, having been engaged since 2015 to actress Scarlett Byrne.

At the Playboy party, Tiffany Trump was photographed by other guests talking to Hefner and Byrne. Byrne, incidentally, was in the magazine earlier this year when the magazine decided to bring back nudity following a brief ban on nude centerfolds.
